So after World War II, the whole world was going,
"Come on, Europe, give these countries back. Come on, we just had a bloody war; let's give 'em back. Britain?"
"Wha'?"
"What's that behind your back?"
"Oh, it's India and a number of other countries."
"Give 'em back."
"Oh, all right. There's that one there, and there's that one..."
"Falkland Islands?"
"Oh, we need the Falkland Islands... for strategic sheep purposes!"
Yeah. And then it was a case of no empire no longer.
